  1. Evening all, I know this is a year old now but if someone can help that would be really appreciated.

    I've done far too much reading and can't see the wood for the trees now.  I have a standard stock sport 2016 B9 Avant with stock 17" wheels ET 38/9 I think.   Im looking to upgrade to 18" rotors but for the life of me can't find genuine 18 rotors that come off an A4 /A5.  There seems to be a surplus of either 19"s off A4/A5 or 18" rotors that come off A3/A1.  The latter are 112 but the ET range are in the 50s.  My question is, I thought the ET shouldn't stray more than 5mm from the stock, so would these A3/A1 rotors either not work on an A4, or would they look ridiculous?.  I was also thinking of changing tyres to 225 45 instead of the standard 245 40 profile, just to keep the comfort levels up on the the sport suspension - I  have 50 profiles just now, it's a family car and lots of miles for work mean i need to balance comfort and looks - hence not really keen to go to 19".  Also would prefer not to get replicas -worried about quality safety....

    Does anyone have any thoughts or photos of what the A3/A1 18"would be like on a 2016 A4 Avant??  I'm in Scotland so roads are not the greatest for our potholes etc.

    Your time and help is really appreciated!
